I was in ASDA yesterday (not my usual, but they had some superb deals on single malt Scotches, so I was panic buying due to impending whisky apocalypse). Passing the loo roll aisle, the shelves were bare but a lad had just wheeled out a pallet of them which had been decended on by a crowd, like a scene out of a zombie movie.
As an afterthought I managed to grab one pack and I was loading it onto the checkout belt with 3 bottles of scotch, the girl at the till laughed and made a joke about me not getting my 5-a-day, then nodded at a couple of guys with a trolley piled high: "they won't be happy when i tell them it's a 2 pack limit for loo paper".
It seems the supermarkets are operating a policy after all...
